Notes on Fields

• The Practitioner FHIR Resource defines a comprehensive set of data elements.  Many of them are not relevant to this use case.  When reviewing the Profile Snapshot, several data elements previously hidden are now exposed.  Fields intended for consideration to be provided in the API are marked as Must Support; i.e., a red S or have a minimum cardinality of 1.  All other data elements are not expected to be sent by a Responder; if they are sent a Requestor can choose to ignore them
• Payers may decide to provide either the data that was in effect as of the date of service or the current data.
• .identifier[NPI], .identifier[tax]: One of these identifiers must be provided
• .meta.lastUpdated: Payers SHALL provide the last time the data was updated or the date of creation in the payer’s system of record, whichever comes last. Apps will use the meta.lastUpdated value to determine if the Reference resources are as of the current date or date of service.
• The CPCDS data elements are defined in the data element comments.  The numbers, e.g. (1), following the data element descriptions in the comments correlate to the MapID in the CPCDS Data Dictionary and the Mapping Worksheet as described here.
• meta.profile is required as a matter of convenience of receiving systems. The meta.profile should be used by the Server to hint/assert/declare that this instance conforms to one (or more) stated profiles (with business versions). meta.profile does not capture any business logic, processing directives, or semantics (for example, inpatient or outpatient). Clients should not assume that the Server will exhaustively indicate all profiles with all versions that this instance conforms to. Clients can (and should) perform their own validation of conformance to the indicated profile(s) and to any other profiles of interest.
